The NX CAM Chat Co-Pilot is an intelligent assistant designed to help NC programmers navigate NX software and address domain-specific questions. It streamlines workflows, saving time and enhancing productivity in the shop. Accessible via value-based licensing for NX CAM, the Co-Pilot integrate...

Create precisely controlled 5-axis tool paths to effectively machine complex geometries. Using application-specific capabilities, you can dramatically reduce programming time and create smart, collision-free cutting operations.

Produce superior quality mold inserts using a complete set of NC programming tools. High-speed roughing strategies help you reduce cycle time by up to 60 percent, while extending tool life. Fully automated rest milling removes uncut material from previous operations and eliminates air-cutting.

Multiple part programming speeds the development of tombstone and fixture configurations, intelligently distributing tool paths to multiple components in assemblies.

Siemens partnered with Sandvik Coromant to implement PrimeTurning in NX. PrimeTurning ™ is an innovative machining method that uses high-performance CoroTurn Prime inserts enables higher performance machining.

Minimize manual input and create optimized processes to machine precision parts. Advanced technologies, such as volume-based milling and automated feature recognition, can reduce programming time by up to 90 percent.
